This senior leadership position will oversee engineering, procurement, construction, project controls, quality, health and safety, and subcontractor performance, ensuring projects are delivered safely, on schedule, within budget, and to the required technical and contractual standards. The successful candidate will provide strategic direction across the EPC function while maintaining strong relationships with clients, consultants, suppliers, contractors, grid stakeholders, and internal teams.

You will need excellent commercial and stakeholder management skills, the ability to interpret technical and contractual documentation, and confidence making decisions in a fast-paced environment.
